Question

A gold bar has a mass of 530,000 mg. The bar has a length of 5.2 cm a width of 2.1 cm and a density of 19.3 g/cm^3 Determine the height of the bar in millimeters. Show all work.

Answer 1

530,000 mg x 1 g / 1000 mg x 1 cm³ / 19.3 g = 27.5 cm³ = volume of the bar

Volume = L x W x H

27.5 cm³ = 5.2 cm x 2.1 cm x H

H = 2.5 cm
